Building schedules
Each building has created a schedule for device return days.
During their assigned times, students will bring their devices to the media center. Members of the Pickerington Schools Technology Department will inspect them for needed repairs, checking things such as whether keyboards function properly, WiFi connectivity, working trackpads/touch screens, functional ports, and physical damage. Any needed repairs will occur during the summer.
Students who have devices that need to be repaired will receive a statement of needed repairs. Needed repairs will be covered under the conditions of the district’s Technology Protection Plan, which parents had the option of purchasing last fall. Parents who did not purchase that insurance will be charged for those repairs, with costs billed to the student’s Infinite Campus account.
